Faritha review for Ablestar Bulk Product Editor

July 2, 2025

**What worked well:** * **Intuitive bulk-editor interface**: Picking a tag filter and choosing “Set text to value” is straightforward. * **Accurate preview and reporting**: The app clearly shows which SKUs you’ve “edited” and gives confirmation messages. * **General metafield support**: I could bulk-set other custom fields without issue. **Where it fell short:** * **Google Shopping fields not updating**: Although the app reported success, the values never appeared in the **Google Shopping – Custom Label 0/1** metafields. * **Lack of namespace clarity**: It wasn’t obvious whether “Custom Label 0” referred to Shopify metafields or Google-channel fields, leading to confusion. * **No visible error**: There’s no warning when a write operation silently fails on the `google_shopping.custom_label_*` namespace. **Suggested improvements:** 1. **Explicit Google-Shopping field mapping**: Clearly label fields with the full namespace (`google_shopping.custom_label_0`) and surface it in the bulk-editor. 2. **Error reporting**: If a write to a Google-channel metafield fails, show an error or flag it in the preview. 3. **Sample verification**: Offer a “Verify in Google channel” step so I can confirm values made it into Merchant Center fields. I approved the \$30 plan hoping to streamline Google feed prep, but since custom labels didn’t actually update, it wasn’t usable for our biggest use case. If you can address the above points, I’d be happy to give Ablestar another try!
